OXFORD — Richard C. Miller II, 60, of Oxford, died late Friday evening, Sept. 29, 2017, in the comfort of his own home, surrounded by his loving family after a long and courageous 30-year battle with M.S.

He was born on Oct. 27, 1956, in Allentown, Pa., a son of Richard C. and Charlotte (Williams) Miller. He graduated from Allentown schools and went on to enlist in the United States Marine Corps.
 While stationed in Japan, he met Karen Smith and they were married “stateside” on June 10, 1978 in Oxford, where they made their home. He worked locally at the Inn at Poland Spring until ill health forced him to stop.

He was an avid New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboy fan, however, he was a greater fan of his grandchildren and nieces and nephews, whose company he loved so much.

He is survived by his wife, Karen of Oxford; a daughter, Jamie Hynes of Casco; a sister, Kathy Miller of Allentown, Pa.; three grandchildren; a step-granddaughter; nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents.
